Dear XSL editors,
Following a discussion online regarding the need to pattern a collection of
simple-page-master page geometries, I'd like to request a future version of
XSL-FO consider a new construct to indicate the repetition of an arbitrary
collection of sub-sequences.
http://xep.xattic.com/lists/xep-support/0742.html
This new wrapper would be a sub-sequence specifier whose children are
sub-sequence specifiers, as in the following example:
<new-construct-here maximum-repeats="no-limit|<number>|inherit">
<single-page-master-reference master-reference="page-1-of-4"/>
<single-page-master-reference master-reference="page-2-of-4"/>
<single-page-master-reference master-reference="page-3-of-4"/>
<single-page-master-reference master-reference="page-4-of-4"/>
</new-construct-here>
I would think that any sub-sequence specifier (including this new
construct) could be a child of this new construct.
I hope this helps!
............... Ken
